When Chattanooga native Gail Rich moved back to her hometown 10 years ago, she fell in love with the city again.

“There’s a real energy here,” she said of the reason she moved back with her husband.

But while the town had grown so much, she said, Rich had a realization about the local art community.

“My husband is a photographer, and while I was trying to find places to showcase his photos, I realized that there is very little opportunity for local artists to be present in the business world,” she said.

Thus, Rich’s business, JumpSt/Art, was born.
